I am getting the same error during the unattended installation. I have since removed MP9 from my ISO. Installation works fully no errors. Gotta be something amuck with the MP9 setup.

Just one more comment; I have started using VMWare Workstation 4 (not related to anyone in this company!!!) and it is definitely a workable program. Before using this program I was dishing a lot of CDs (coasters). Now I test all my ISOs prior to burning them. Itīs worth the shelf price.

Havenīt tried Virtual PC (I hear it is fairly good....will try it later.)

I have a question that may somewhat clear up the problem, are you attempting to install MP9 on Windows XP Home Edition?

Aaron,
I am trying to install it on Windows XP Professional. It worked fine when I installed it through the batch command. I started getting the problem when I moved it to the svcpack.inf and try to install it from there. I am now using the RunOnceEx.cmd with the cmdlines.txt and all the other .cmds and the only problem I get is with WMP9 mentioning the system restore is disabled. As a workaround I can continue the installation and then reactivate the system restore after setup.......

Wooaaa,,,just had a thought,,,,,there was a hotfix for the Blaster Worm that needed system restore disabled...this hotfix may be the one disabling system restore and WMP9 setup catches it. Hence, when I remove WMP9,,no error.
More to come......

well that could be it then. did u run the rollup slipstream, i believe that patch is part of it. i didn't have any problems installing the rollup that required disabling system restore.

Doubt it has anything to do with the rollup. I've been unable to re-produce the System Restore error that the few people here get - with/without the rollup, and using either the WMP9 download from MS, or the OPK.

Aaron,
Are you installing WMP9 with a batch file? As I mentioned earlier, I can install it with my batch_file.cmd, but seem to get the error when I try to install it as part of an update in the svcpack.inf.

I used to run this from a [GuiRunOnce] batch file. But now, I run this from svcpack.inf - as its more convenient having 2 apps in one. No problems either way though...

Aaron,
I have made a screen capture of the error I get during the 13-minute stage of XP Pro installation. However, being a newbie at this, I have no clue how to insert it to this reply :)

I would most definetely appreciate any guidance,,,,,thnx.

Amigo,
I just read your last post and I see where the problem may lie. I am running MPSetupXP from the svcpack.inf and not the WMP9_MM2_opk (not available in Spanish). Will create a batch and load it that way as I have installed it this way previously. Will let you know the outcome.

Aaron,
Found a Spanish version (WMP9_MM2_ESN.exe) dropped it into update folder and updated my svcpack.inf. Have gone past the 13-minute stage of my ISO installation and no restore error. This fix is good for me!!!!! Thanx for the help.

I found this OPK in Microsoft OEM Site Builder home page. I am sure it is available in other languages.

Good to see the problem go away :)

Nobody has been able to figure out why the System Restore message only appears on some systems. Will probably remain a mystery for a while!

I disabled system restore through system properties.

When I tried to install WMP9 I too got that message about it wanting system restore enabled, and was I sure I wanted to carry on. Basically after some hunting there is an extra command you can use... this is what I use:

WMP9.exe /C:"setup_wm.exe /Q:A /R:N /DisallowSystemRestore" /Q
